Pakistani Police arrest 22 Girls and 25 Boys at Dance Party

Pakistani police in Islamabad raided and arrested 22 girls and 25 boys at a farmhouse near the capital’s Bhara Kahu area for allegedly having a dance party with alcohol present.

The arrest took place on at around 7:30 in the morning on Saturday 28, April 2018, where over 40 people were said to be involved in obscene and suspicious activities.

During the raid, bottles of alcohol were also seized by the police.

According to the Express Tribune, a video shows some of the women who were arrested complaining of having injuries due to being manhandled by police during the raid at the farmhouse in Phulgran village on Simly Dam Road, near Bhara Kahu. The property is said to belong to Mr Raja Kamran.

The initial police report related to the raid and arrest stated that the occupants found at the premises were involved in activities of a vulgar and suspicious nature.

Regarding the claims made by the women, police said that because some of the suspects were misbehaving with the officials and resisting arrest, some of them did sustain some minor injuries.

The police stated that they segregated the men and women. They locked up the men but the women were to be detained at the police station or admitted to judicial custody if they were not bailed.

A similar case of arrests took place at an Islamabad hotel in the G-5 area on July 2, 2017.

Police raided a party at the hotel at which many women and men were dancing and playing music loud. They were also smoking sheesha and tobacco too.
